I actually let the armyworms eat last year as an experiment.
What was the verdict? I had 2 bouts with them last year and ended up treating for it. The areas they wreaked havoc on seem to be fine now.

They didn’t take over the whole lawn like I thought they would. They ate all of the green and none of the brown, and left what looked like green mush/poop everywhere lol. It was around the fall so I was a bit worried about going into winter but it greened back up before going dormant. I haven’t noticed any issues from those areas as I’m about 75% greened up right now.

I was thinking about letting the armyworms do their thing from now on, but OP in this thread changed my mind. Definitely going to “soak my lawn” in pesticides whenever they return.
